Gander Mountain

They have a table full of small Shad Raps (floating, sinking, and suspending) on clearance. The sign said something about a manufacturers discontinued item clearance sale.

The big store in Forest Lake has some awesome deals on their clearance tables. Nice store too. Has almost everything you would want.

Gander is coming to Mankato! I'm very pumped! It's going to be a big store too. They are taking over one of the new K'mart buildings that went out of business a few years ago. Now I don't have to drive an hour to get to a big store!

Thats going to be nice. Any word as to when it will be open?

I went to the new one in Forest Lake. Nice store. I'm probably going to head up there today to take my time looking around. Last time I was in a hurry and it was close to closing time. My girlfriend's kid was extremely excited about the 4 wheelers. I knew where to find him while I was grabbing what I needed.

Arbuck I don't know the exact date, but they are just about finished with the exterior. I'm guessing within the next month or so.

Sounds like Fargo is opening next weekend. HELP...it's only a block from where I work! Well, time to get out and start building the new shed!

Where is the new GM located in Fargo?

It's on the south side of I-94, accessible from the 45th Ave. exit (Flying J, McDonalds, Tesoro on the north side).

Either the gander mountain in Mankato isnt totally finished on the exterior or they only rented out (bought w/e) 1/2 of the K-Mart builing.
The reason I say that is b/c on the out side they have the entry way and a green border around the outside...well the border stops 1/2 down the front side of the builing. But the building is still going to be pretty big.

But either way im pumped also, finally a store close to home that will supply me with some solid fishing gear! I take it, the store should be open just in time for the hard water season. That will be nice!

------------------
And keep those hooks sharp!

[set the drag]

your asumtion is right they only are using some of the building.
but, that doesn't matter there will finally be sales at scheels and local stores because of the GM store.

Just picked up a Quantim Icon 10 spinning reel for $29.95. Yeah, it's a small one for my ultra-light. Nice price drop though!

i live in mankato an the gander mountian is awsome weve need a store like this for a long time theres tons of fishing stuff something thats been hard to find around here

[Koolguie]

Has anyone been out to Reel Fishing and Tackle in Madison Lake, MN? They have had new owners since February and have greatly expanded their inventory and can meet or beat alot of Gander Mtn's prices, plus you deal with someone who knows what they are talking about when it comes to fishing. Their ice fishing selection is enormous and carry all sorts of rods, reels, augers, ice houses, electronics and tons of tackle.

Gander will be building a new store in Woodbury, on the corner of 19 and 94 near Sams club.

[BigMike]

It's about time they put a bigger/better store in Woodbury! The one they have now is so dinky/cramped! Hopefully it's a nice big one like Forest Lake/Lakeville! I'll only be about 2 minutes from new store

[mnvikingsfreak]

gander is having a sale on blaze orange clothing 50% off got some coveralls for $30 bucks!

[walleyeman1212]

Where do all you guys buy your bait from???

[Lost]

The Fridley location has the Berkley line stripper/hook sharpener combo for $2.95... nice clearance price. Down from $9.95.

Glad to hear that Gander Mountain is upgrading in Woodbury, they need a bigger store.

BigMike - you and I must practically be neighbors as am only a few minutes from the new GM store as well. I live off of Fox Run Road.

[BigMike]

Philo, I live just east of the Woodbury Dr & Valley Creek Rd. intersection. I know there are a handful of FM'ers from Woodbury because I've seen several people post about Woodbury, I'm just not sure who... LOL

I just moved to Woodbury from the mpls side of town and I'm still trying to find some good waters on the east side...

[cjac]

Recently moved FROM Woodbury to the Mpls side of town. We need to swap secrets!

[BigMike]

cjac - sounds good to me. Drop me an email sometime. I used to fish the mpls chain and the river from Pool 2 up to Monti... come to think of it, I'm still fishing up there - just a longer drive

[Neighboor]

I hear ya Walleyman1212!

Is Gander mtn a sponser for this Site?

Don't forget to support you local bait stores guys. These guys and gals are local business owners that need or business more than corporate big wigs.

[irvingdog]

Gander pays the checks to an awful lot of your friends and neighbors who frequent this site as well..........

/still can't quite figure out how big companies are assumed villianous.
